Fish do not bring in Fieldcraft. Fish can only bring in Clear. Housing does bring in Fieldcraft though, I've gotten some that way with the random walls/roofs my retainers love to bring me. (I destroy the evidence for them before the former owner comes looking for it!)

ALC can desynth books, some other weapons (whm, right?), and augmentation items, but not much else. I was originally going to level ALC since I have a bunch of extra primal books from retainers, but I'm now thinking that's a bad idea in the longer run.

CRP can desynth bows, spears, and... err... yeah.

GSM is the best class by an order of magnitude due to design decisions I don't understand. Aetheryte Rings are the cheapest desynth in the game, costing only a water cluster and ~0.3 of a rose gold nugget. It's also a way to magically turn NQ rose gold nuggets into HQ rose gold nuggets. GSM can also desynth all PvP accessories, which are cheaper than other PvP gear, and they can desynth every single Darklight accessory. In addition to all those great things, they can desynth Artisan Spectacles, which are 1/5th the price of any other Artisan item, making them able to generate 5x as much Mastercraft Demimateria as any other desynth class. Not to mention, they can also desynth some primal weapons.

CUL gets you swimsuits, which is cool, but nothing else.

BSM can desynth several primal weapons, which is great. It's pretty expensive to level though. It can also desynth many of the Artisan Tools, if you really want to do that.

WVR, ARM, and LTW can desynth CT gear, I think? Dunno if there's a point to doing so. Also, Divine gear (from the new dungeons), but again, I don't know if there's anything special about it.


I think I'm going to do GSM, BSM, and then either WVR, ARM, or LTW just to see what the i80 armor yields. Not sure which of those, but ARM is tempting since I main PLD.
